I've discovered that having to layer a cami underneath a top intended to wear in hot weather just doesn't work for me. Now I have TWO layers on instead of one. That's why I'm really disliking all the sheer tops that are out there right now.<br /><br />I think this would look fabulous as a cover up though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932424 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:52:44 +0000 ElleH 932424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole if i wore it as a dress with a loose slip it would me much cooler. I don't own a slip so I need to decide if it is worth it. I'm not sure it even looks that great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932421 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:48:16 +0000 Bagaline 932421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I meant planet, not planer! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932418 Tue, 14 May 2013 22:46:30 +0000 Bagaline 932418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sheer, sleeveless, spaghetti straps, not adapted to any weather on our planer: in short, a&nbsp;recipe for a headache. I wouldn't bother trying to style it and&nbsp;would use it as a nightie. You will find&nbsp;plenty other tops that won't give you that sort of trouble.<br /><br />Like CocoLion, and many others, I'm sick of sheer everything. I bought a lot of fabric when traveling in Kerala 2 years ago and this sort of "chiffon" was 50 cents a yard RETAIL. Bizarrely, a chiffon blouse is selling for about the same price as a cotton one. Manufacturers are trying to pass chiffon&nbsp;for a&nbsp;trend: in fact they are just making clothes with the cheapest fabric they can find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932359 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:47:14 +0000 Niefern 932359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like that tunic, but I see that it can be&nbsp;difficult to wear. I think it would look good with a short denim waistcoat (or short jacket).<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932350 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:42:00 +0000 Nicole D 932350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Could you wear it as a dress? &nbsp;In other words: wear it as a dress! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932336 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:30:19 +0000 Suz 932336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I completely understand why it is flummoxing you. And that is frustrating, because it's a nice-looking piece and looks good on <i>you,</i> in theory! &nbsp;But if you can't wear it without a layer underneath, it's sort of useless.&nbsp;<br /><br />I do quite like the idea of using it as a cover up or else as a summer loungewear item. But if even that feels annoying, then I would pass it along.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932329 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:15:57 +0000 CocoLion 932329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it a lot in #1 but not with the jacket, it's too busy with all of the layers and buttons and different lengths and prints.<br /><br />I think it works great as in #1 but understand the temperature challenges. &nbsp;I am so sick of all of the "summer" tops that require a cami. &nbsp;It is really a challenge if you live in a hot climate like I do and spend most of your time in un-airconditioned environments. &nbsp;These "summer" tops can be either sheer or have exaggerated armholes. &nbsp;I feel manufacturers keep pushing this style (and also batwing/dolman type tops) because they are cheaper/easier to manufacture. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932285 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:14:50 +0000 K. Period. 932285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you are on to something using it as a cover up. &nbsp;I can see that it is very sheer and with the spaghetti straps, a real challenge to wear. &nbsp;Too hot with a layer, too sheer without. Not meant to wear with a layer underneath like a long sleeve tee. &nbsp;Too dark for a summery item. &nbsp;Too light weight for a winter item. &nbsp;I'd be stumped too! I think what you are wearing looks fine with it, and it looks nice on you. &nbsp;However, personally&nbsp;I would pass it along because it doesn't have the versatility I would want to make room for it in my closet. &nbsp;Or I'd wear it as a beach cover up or as a summer nightie. &nbsp;That's all I got. &nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932277 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:05:29 +0000 bj1111 932277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it washes you out without the white topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orphan-to-outfit-challenge-animal-print-tunic#post-932081 Tue, 14 May 2013 16:44:58 +0000 ElleH 932081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This sheer animal print tunic was given to me in Australia. It hasn't really been warm enough to wear here but I didn't wear it there either. It needs a cami underneath so that makes it hotter to wear but being sleevless it isn't really hot weather clothing. I don't love it with the jacket &amp; haven't thought of a better way to wear it. All weather/temparature issues aside, even though I like the piece it doesn't look fab on me. At least that is what I think &amp; I can't pinpoint why. Do you love it or have any suggestions on how to wear it or should it be a swimsuit cover up? Thanks.
